What do filters cost to run?
Filters need replacing about every 6 to 12 months. Our VIP Filter Care Club is from $299 a year and covers annual filter replacement, a system health check, priority scheduling and 10% off repairs and parts, so you never have to think about it.
Every installation comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty, and manufacturer warranties run from 1 to 10 years depending on the model. Keeping your filters replaced on time keeps those warranties valid.
Can I pay for a water filter over time?
Yes. Flexible payment and finance options are available, and whole-home filtration starts from $24 a week with Zip Pay. Ask about it when you book your free consultation.
How do I choose the right system for my budget?
Start with a free on-site water test. We test your water, inspect your plumbing and recommend the system that suits your home and budget, so you only pay for what makes sense for you.
Plenty of families start with an under-sink or reverse osmosis system for drinking water, while others go straight to whole-home for every tap. Tank and bore homes need a different setup again. We will point you to the right one.
